Jeffer S NDE

Experience Description

I felt a couple of jolts through my body as if I was being shocked. After the shock had disappeared, I looked down toward earth to find that the dentist was still trying to take out my wisdom teeth.

After looking down, I couldn't help but go to houses of family members. Some of them were drinking and some were sitting down chatting or watching television. As I drifted up further to this white light, I heard a voice calling me. This voice was peaceful and heartwarming. As I was about to go further into this light, I was approached by a man dressed in white with his hair down to his shoulders.

He showed me the sky and said, ‘Son, this is what you've been doing with your life. I am quite pleased and will reward you with pleasurable eternal life for the wrongs that have been put against you.’ This man showed me a time in my life where he saw it was the lowest, when I lost my twin brother to suicide. He also showed me a meadow that was filled with people going across a river. A peaceful river. Those who were thirsty drank of it.

This man put my brother's hand in mine then told him to bring me back. I felt a big swoosh and was struggling to get back into my body. I saw doctors and nurses using all their might and will to try to get me back. After a half an hour of trying, they got me back and stabilized.
